Too
Cute! Heritage Auctions Sells Cute.com for Over 200K to Top This
Week's Sales Chart

I was away onvacationlast week so I have a double dose of domain sales data for you
this week that will bring you completely up to date on what has
happened in the aftermarket since my last report. The biggest
development was Heritage
Auctions closing several big sales from their last last
domain auction in late July. Five of those filled spots on the upper
half of our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart,
including the chart topper - Cute.com at a cool $230,000.

In another six-figure sale (detailed by Elliot
Silver in a blog post at DomainInvesting.com)
Koko.com changed hands on the eName.com platform for CNY
620,000, which comes out to $100,440 at today's exchange
rate.

Heritage Auctions (HA) filled the #3 hole
with DEC.com (one of the first five domain registered on the
Internet!) for $57,500. Sedo
followed with Cabs.com at $50,000 with HA then
rounding out the first five with Bristol.com at $40,250.

The .coms had an even more dominant
outing than usual, sweeping 17 of the 20 chart entries. Michael
Berkens' MostWantedDomains.com
accounted for five of those with a roster led by #10 (tie) CoolCompany.com
and FreeATM.com at $25,000 each. The latter domain was
bought as an upgrade by company that runs TheFreeATM.com.
Flippa.com
also contributed to the .com onslaught, selling #16 (tie) VisitRome.com
for $16,000.

Two ccTLDs helped prevent the .coms
from running the board. #7 Answers.tv sold for $28,350
while #20 KFZ24.de delivered $14,420, with Sedo
handling both of those transactions.

Only one non .com gTLD made the
elite list but that was one of the 12 biggest sales made in that
category so far this year.
Terrestrial Holdings (TH) did the honors by moving 100.org
for $26,000. After doing some research, TH owner Theo
Develegas said that is the highest 3-number .org sale ever
reported, topping 360.org by $500.

Here is how all of the sales leaders
stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, September 28:

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value cash only sales that have been reported to us in the
past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool,
not a complete list documenting ALL high
value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce
because many sales are kept private at the insistence of
buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

There were nine more five-figure sales off the
chart with Sedo ringing up seven of those including Piercings.de
at $12,600 and Piqs.com at $12,000. Capish.com
posted $11,674, Actuar.com added $10,800
and three others - Delrio.com, Jiver.com and SkyFox.com
- fetched $10,000 apiece.

Elsewhere, Flippa.com sold Yabai.com for $11,100
and MostWantedDomains drew $10,000 for RockBottomRates.com.

Sedo had 98 more four-figure .com sales ranging from $2,000
to $5,500 that are listed in the table below:

Country
Codes

The ccTLDs were led by the three
five-figure sales you saw in the all extension section above
(with Answers.tv setting the pace at $28,350). The highest sale in this category that you haven't
seen yet is #4 on our latest weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart.
That is TheFaceShop.com.cn, a Chinese domain that Sedo fold for $9,588.

Sedo, who swept 18 of the 20 chart entries,
rounded out the first five with Online-Roulette.de at $9,450.
The two spots Sedo did not get were #10, taken by DomainLore.co.uk
with Bump.co.uk at $6,857, and #16 which went to
Flippa.com for Use.co.uk at $4,200.

Germany's .de won the extension race with
seven chart
entries followed by Great Britain's .co.uk with
four. Here is how the
country code sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday,
September 28:

There were several dozen more four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart led

If there are country code extensions in our report
that you are not familiar with, you can look up the nation each
extension goes with here.

The non
.com gTLD sales produced just one five-figure sale this week
but it was a nice one - 100.org at $26,000, which
ranks among the dozen biggest sales in this category so far
in 2014. The runner up on this week's Non .Com
gTLD Top Sales Chart, Shou.net at $6,000 via
Sedo, trailed by $20,000.

Sedo went on to pile up 18 of the 20 chart
entries. They rounded out the first five with Uhr.kaufen
($5,292), Losless.audio ($5,000) and Polygon.org ($3,400).

The .orgs easily won the extension race with
six chart entries, followed by the .infos with three. The
.nets usually lead this group but managed only two chart
entries this week as a variety of new gTLDs took places,
including a pair of .clubs.

Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders
stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, September 28:

There were eight more four-figure sales off the
chart with Sedo posting seven of those, led by Reiter.reisen at
$1,197. Meeting.info added $1,050, Saldos.info
sold for $1,008 and 356.parts produced $1,007.
Three others - CareerSolutions.org, Gym.biz and
ILoveBeachTenis.net - notched $1,000 each.

Also, Flippa sold Spokane.info for $1,095.
